#150 setup.py python2.4 warning: Unknown distribution option: 'requires'

Hi,

I get the following warning when installing s3cmd on an old RHEL5 machine, which has python 2.4.

1.5.0-rc1 from sourceforge

requires appears to be looking for dateutil. As it turns out i didn't have that installed, and s3cmd failed. On the plus side I got a useful error message on the import failure.

thanks

1.5.1.2 now in PyPi fixes all this, pulling in ez_setup, and python-dateutils. This does require python 2.6 now, not 2.4.
